Recently had to replace my rear calipers and received a great amount of help from this forum and am searching for some assistance again. After driving onto the side of the road, I had a loud (when going over expansion joints and the like) rattle from what sounds like the interior. Got the tire off today and the right rear upper strut mount is broken and I had some questions on the repair.
There is no one local that I especially trust with the repair, so the nearest shop would be a 45 minute highway drive away:
1. Can I drive safely without the strut
2. Should I go OEM to replace
3. Should I be diligent about doing both sides now (~32,000 km on the vehicle)
4. Is this something I can DIY (doing it in driveway and it is getting cold here)
5. Is this a known issue with the vehicle.
Thank you for any thoughts....
